Created by food allergy parents for food allergy parents: a comprehensive 400+ page website all about OIT / oral immunotherapy. OIT or desensitization is a food allergy treatment performed by board-certified allergists in their practices. There are over 65 allergists on the list. Over 80% of OIT families have insurance coverage.

One stop to be able to learn about OIT, read hundreds of media stories and medical journal articles about OIT.

@AllergyKidsDoc FYI, In case you didn't see that you're quoted: oit101.org

In case the webpage gets changed, the link listed in that Tweet for page Home/Knowledge Base/OIT: The Only Proven Treatment {oit101 dot org} shows the following:

"In our world of instant access to contless internet resources ad social media groups, I believe it is more important than ever to rely on evidence-based information when making decisions about one's health." -- Dr. Daveid Sukus, board-cdertified allergist in a guest post.

So, then there was this Tweet

@FAtreatmenttalk wow-- thank you for informing me. That was used without my knowledge or permission. Lifted from another resource. Ugh.

Sorry, I figured.

In another Tweet, Dr. Dave Stukus says this about that same OIT101 website:

My understanding is that at the FABlogCon in November there will be discussion about this biased site and the incredibly HIDEOUS behavior by some of the mommies who set up that site and who are running some of the Facebook pages that do not allow for truly open discussion and research on the topic of OIT . . . to include how these same mommies set up fake Facebook pages (peanut allergy support / food allergy support) to look like other 10,000-strong groups already in existence. . . and how they attack those in patch trials and other treatments . . .

It has come to light that this same OIT group has begun an ongoing fundraising campaign (Aug 2016) and it seems has not been entirely truthful about the organization:

TO DATE, there does not appear to be ANY DOCUMENTATION that the group is a bonafide, recognized 501(c)3 even though their promoters claim "nonprofit" and insinuate tax-exempt status on par with REAL charitable nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations.

Bottom line? Buyer Donor beware.
